Metal meets goth rock with a female vocalist, at least equal to Within Temptation but with more of a metal influence. Limited edition includes the bonus track "The Gate" rapped in a luxurious digi box.
Ashes is the fourth full-length album by the Norwegian band Tristania. The album registers a change in the band's musical style, leaving out the choirs and initiating a heavier sound, with a focus on darker lyrics and the pure vocals of Vibeke Stene. This album is the only one Kjetil Ingebrethsen performed harsh vocals on.
